nvite seaside sparkle to the holidays with this handcrafted oyster shell Christmas ornament featuring delicate gold motifs—snowflakes, swirls, and a classic bauble—set against a pearl-white ground. Each ornament begins with a real, upcycled oyster shell that’s carefully cleaned, leveled, and decoupaged with archival papers. We then seal the artwork in crystal-clear resin, which magnifies the shell’s iridescence, adds a glass-like shine, and protects the surface for seasons of display. A natural jute cord completes the piece with a warm, coastal touch that pairs beautifully with evergreen, eucalyptus, rattan, and driftwood. Because these are authentic shells, every ornament has its own ocean-made character—variations in shape, size, and nacre pattern ensure no two are exactly alike. Handcrafted in small batches by a woman-owned coastal studio, this design blends nautical elegance with winter magic, making it a perfect crossover piece from festive décor to year-round beach house styling.
